What's causing the fluttering feelings 6 days post TT?

A
AliveeMar 1, 2015

Hi! I'm almost a week PO TT with full MR. As of yesterday I have begun feeling fluttering type feelings every now and then. I have decreased Valium and am only taking twice a day, no Pain meds. Still have drains in and am only at about 15-20 ml's a day at this point. Are these types of spasms normal or a sign that I may be over doing it with activity? No pain when it happens, btw. Thanks!!!

Remember that it takes a good year (and sometimes even longer) for your scars to mature and start fading. It can also take a good 6 months to a year for all the swelling to resolve. I would suggest you wait another 6-8 months to see your final shape and then discuss with your operating surgeon...

You need to let your surgeon know what happened before your surgery to avoid surgery cancellation. It will be wise to provide to your PS-all of the facts of treatment, pregnancy termination confirmation from your gynecologist.
